More Than 80 Cancer Patients Take 'Frozen Sleep’ Treatment.

By Science Service NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—More than

80 patients with hopeless, inoperable cancer so far have been treated with the refrigerated “frozen sleep”

method, it was announced by Dr. Temple Fay of Temple University, Philadelphia, at the dinner meeting of the New York City cancer committee here. Gradually lower and lower temperatures have been tried and patients have been maintained at temperatures of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or more than 23 degrees below normal. Periods of treatment have ranged from 24 hours to eight days. “The commercial world of science has come to our assistance recently,” Dr. Fay said, “and devised refrigerated units with blankets containing coils of tubing capable of regulation, and thermostatically

have completed a homemade sixinch reflector telescope costing $50.

controlled.” Very recently, Dr. Fay said, it

has been found that less and less | sedatives are required, as the refrigeration controls pain to a most remarkable degree. In every instance relief from pain has been obtained. “Gross evidence of regression of tumors and improvement in the patient's general condition continues to reassure us that the application of refrigeration measures will eventually bring some form of reasonable and beneficial therapy,” he concluded.

INFOREST FIRES,

State Reports Total Damage Slightly Higher Than in Last Few Years. -

Indiana's autumn forest fire loss, now estimated at $500,000, is “slightly worse” than the losses of the last few years, the State Conservation Department reported today. This is due to the long dry spell and the loss of more valuable trees, the Department stated.

Major damage was in southern counties where 19,000 acres of tim-

ana lost spproximaigly 6000 acres. Although the peak” of the fire season has passed, the Department warned that the danger still exists and will continue until the first SNOW. Caution in throwing matches or lighted cigars or cigarets from automobile window was urged. The last large forest fire was reported to the Department on Oct. 24.

Out of the propaganda of both sides can come the truth.” Dr. Peterson’s book, analyzing the British propaganda campaign to get the United States into the World War, was published last spring by the University of Oklahoma Press. It has been quoted frequently in the neutrality debate in Congress. Dr. Peterson urged Americans to arm themsélves against the evils of propaganda by asking three questions about what they read, hear or see concerning the war: “1. What is omitted?

She is fertile, and, mated normally, has produced a normal litter, The experiment was conducted by Dr. Gregory Pincus of Clark University, in a laboratory at Harvard. The far-reaching purpose of the tests is to gain knowledge applicable to the birth of healthier humans. They involve a study of hormones and chemicals, and one of Dr. Pincus’ findings was that the growth of ova in test tubes was accelerated by a chemical called glutathione, which has been known to stimulate the growth of tissue and has been suspected of some connection with the growth of cancer. The fatherless birth is called synthetic parthenogenesis, and has been known for years to occur in some lower forms of life. But it had never applied to ] creatures, of which nn highest order,

Seeks Synthetic Gasoline CHICAGO, Nov. 3 (U.

The internationally. famous chems< ist has dedicated his laboratory and his services as a special endowment to Northwestern University as a possible means of achieving those goals. Dr. Ipatieff, who came to America 10 years ago as research chief for a large oil company, conducts classes in advanced chemistry in the laboratory to develop younger hands to carry on his work and devotes two days a week to private research. He said his research will center on experimentation with petroleum products under high pressures and breaking down rubber substances to discover what natural rubber is chemically. ‘

STRAYER POST GIVES DIES INDORSEMENT

The work of the Digs Committee has been indorsed by the Frank T. Strayer Post 1405 of the Veterans

of Foreign Wars. In a telegram to Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.) the Post praised the Committee. The wire was signed by Ora B. Keller, commander and Kenneth Williams, adjutant. In part, it read: The Post “officially and unanimously is on record as praising and indorsing the efforts of yourself and Committee to investigate un-Amer-ican activities in exposing those anti-Americans who would undermine the very foundations of the most envied nation on earth, and recommends that the proposal to publish a list of anti-Americans in Government employ be carried out.”

|'ATTACK’ ON SHIP REMAINS MYSTERY

NEW. YORK, Nov. 3 (U.P).— Whether the British freighter Coulmore actually encountered a German submarine or raider off the American coast remained one of| the war's minor mysteries today. Coast Guard and shipping circles were convinced that the freighter was proceeding safely on her course from Philadelphia to England and abandoned their search for her yesterday. Tuesday night she sent out signals that were interpreted as! meaning she was being attacked. The master of the American export liner Excambion, arriving in Boston, said he was certain the 8 O S was due only to a storm.
